CAMDEN ROCKS

[lob]

I thought it was a great set but it was over all too soon ...isn't it always.

Sob.... will someone please tell us poor misbegotten souls who couldn't make the gig who was in the band?

[Wrenaldo]

Some fella with reddish hair was singing.

To be honest I was fairly wasted but I seem to recall recognising Jase and Denzel. New / stand-in bassist was top notch but can't for the life of me remember his name. And my view of the keyboardist (if there was one) was obscured so pass on that one.

Clearly I am not the person to have asked.

Business as usual on guitars and drums. The bassist was Denzil's mate Desk. Clicky here to check them out playing together as Calcius Repton.

Can't remember the Keyboard player's name though.

Sarc missed one off the setlist, and I think this was pretty much the order (well, the first two and last two are right anyhoo).

Queen Of Leaving
Black Windows
When She Comes
Yeah Yeah Yeah
This Is Only A Problem
Mother City
Josser Bank
Drinking In The Daytime

[Trudi]

I have the memory of a goldfish so photographed setlist - will upload when I get home but basically what Ean said! Pete D - stayed for 4 songs then left to try to catch Rosie Oddie but gave up as the Monarch was rammed. What I heard of PD was ok but I was unmoved... Crowd was lapping up every move though.
G's keyboard player - Nathan.

G's keyboard player - Nathan.

Ah, that's the bunny.

I was still trying to work out what Ginger had called the bassist, so I didn't pay much attention to the keyboardist.

[Ean]

So close...

But where's Poot?

Thanks folks, at last I know...

Sounds like a cracking gig - shame I couldn't make it, don't know that I would have hung around much after either as PD doesn't do anything for me I am afraid

[shadow]

he does something for me lob--makes me wanna throw up
sorry --then again he probs doesnt like me either

I have seen them before but Black Spiders totally ruled for me, can't wait to see them again and hear that album when it finally comes out.

Day seemed to go quick and only really went to the Underworld and a brief spell in the Monarch where I caught Turbowolf who were quite interesting.

[Dark Lord of Barnet]

I was lucky in that the three acts I wanted to see were all at the Underworld - or maybe not at it's one of my least favourite venues. (never mind - the Garage is re-opening soon!) At least the wristbands meant it was easy to nip upstairs for a decent pint at a reasonable price between bands instead of being ripped off downstairs - £4.10 for a bottle of Newky Brown - they can fuck right off!

I've seen better sets from Dirty Harry, but I enjoyed it more some some of the other acts on the bill. I really enjoyed Black Spiders and will certainly be going to see them again. I enjoyed Ginger's set more than the recent Islington one - the atmosphere seemed more relaxed and Ginger seemed very at ease. The place was pretty packed when Ginger was on which was good. A lot of people there obviously weren't Ginger fans or didn't even know who he was, but his set was very well recieved all the same - and not just by the hardcore fans present (good to meet Sarc and the omnipresent Ean). There obviously were quite a few Ginger/Wildhearts fans there as well. Hopefully Ginger was 'discovered' by a few more people who will now go and check out his work - which is one of the great things about these sort of events. I was particularly pleased to hear 'Josser Bank' as it's my favourite from 'Market Harbour' and a song I thought I'd probably never hear live.

I didn't stay for Potty Pete (so he actually turned up then!) as it was getting stupidly packed and looked like being full of idiots, so I headed of to Hoxton to see Dirty Harry again at the Macbeth - which is still a dive!
